It took me a lot of reading before understanding that this is an OS on which you run a Kubernetes node//master and not a so-called OS on top of Kubernetes.

Somehow When I read "OS for Kubernetes" I thought it was yet one more layer of abstraction on top of Kubernetes.

Ahh thanks for the feedback. One thing is clear from all this is that we can do a better job in documentation.

I wish these sales-type pages had a "click here if you're an engineer." The page would contain a buzzword-free, straightforward explanation of what the product's purpose is, what its major features are, and what interfaces are exposed for control and flow.

I have passed on countless products when evaluating solutions for having very flashy sales pages with no actual description of the product itself. "Improve your ROI! Decrease Downtime!" aren't features, per se, but potential benefits that can only be determined if the product is a fit, and I can only determine fit if I know that the hell it does.

As an engineer I understand this completely. We are already discussing internally how we can improve our site and documentation. Our goal is to create a vibrant community and getting all the sales fluff out of the way is something I support!

Also this wording - "Talos lets you treat the cluster as the machine"

Well, there is DC/OS that Kubernetes runs in top of :)

Kubernetes is already an OS.

Linux is already an OS.
